Time to crack the books, Bowie fans. To celebrate the international tour of the critically-adored exhibit David Bowie… Is, which features art, film, costumes and photography from the music icon’s career, the London Evening Standard has a list of David Bowie’s 100 favorite reads.

The list was released by the archivist who helped curate the Bowie exhibit, which originally opened in London’s Victoria & Albert Museum and is currently at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Comprised of novels, poetry, non-fiction and a few magazines, the list shows Bowie to be something a voracious and varied reader. In fact, Bowie is such a fan of the written word, reports the LES, that if he hadn’t become a musician, he’d have chosen a career as a novelist.

Superfans can peruse the list below to see how many Bowie-approved books they’ve already read — and add the rest to their “To Read” list.
